What is Java?




The first thing we need to understand to get started is exactly what is Java? When someone says Java, what are they talking about?

Well, Java is a programming language, but Java is also a runtime environment. It's both of those things. So, when we think about the programming language, it has things like the syntax, the data types, control flow, like looping and conditional statements and being object‑oriented, right, doing inheritance, and so forth. And then runtime, of course, must support those things, but it also provides things like configuration, security, a threading model, input/output, that sort of thing. So, when someone says Java, they could be referring to a programming language or the runtime environment or the whole thing. Now in general, the runtime environment someone is talking about when they just say Java is often referred to as Java Standard Edition. Right, that's kind of the basic Java environment. But it also provides other environments that derive from that, Enterprise Edition, Java Micro Edition, and Java FX. So those are all either supersets or subsets of this main thing, which is just the Java Standard Edition. But the thing that's neat about Java, it's so flexible that there are even run times that are not tied to the Java one produced by Oracle. Right, Android is kind of most well-known one. Android provides a very different runtime than the standard Java run times from Oracle. The thing is, though, that all those environments support effectively the same Java programming language, right. So that one language equips us the work in all those different places.

Variables, Data Types and Math Operations

  In order to do anything interesting in a program, we must have the ability to store and manipulate values. What allows us to do that are what we call variables. Now a variable, simply put, is just named data storage. Now Java is a strongly ‑ typed language. Now what that means is that when we declare a variable like, in this case, we have a variable named data Value, we have to specify the type of that variable, in this case, it's what we call an int, something that can store integers. So, what that means is that the data Value variable can only store things that are compatible with the type int. As we go through the course, we'll talk about this idea of one type being compatible with another. Now when we declare a variable, we can, of course, then assign a value to it, so our variable data Value now holds the value 100. Now when we use variables, we can do it the way we've done here where we declare it, then assign it, or as a matter of convenience, we can declare them a...

Publish a Project

Publish a Project: Publishing means packaging/archiving the project. Why to Publish : Robot can execute only Packages, doesn’t run projects directly. So we need to archive all project files to a Single Package file. There are 2 Process are available 1.        If Orchestrator is connected through Robot, automatically Project archive file displayed in Packages folder. From here, we can distribute this to some other Robots 2.        If there is no connection between Orchestrator and Robot, we need place Project archive file in Packages folder manually How to Publish: 1.        Open UI Studio, Create New Project 2.        In the Setup ribbon tab, click Publish . If the project is published successfully, the Info dialog box is displayed and the project is copied to the NuGet location set in the NuGetServerUrl parameter, in the UiPath.settings...

AGILE Methodology

Agile:      Ø   Agile is nothing but a Multi Iterative Cycle      Ø   It breaks the entire project into Small pieces and then do implementation iteration by iteration      Ø   At the end of every Iteration, customer uses application and gives feedback      Ø   At the end of ALL Iterations, customer will get the application as desired Various versions of Agile: Scrum:                     In Scrum, each iteration is called ‘Sprint’. So, at the end of Sprint, Customer interacts with application and provides feedback (Unlike Waterfall) 3 Roles:   Ø   Product Owner   Ø   Scrum Master       Ø    Team
